Is It Written In The Stars? - Linda Wisdom
TITLE: Is It Written In The Stars?
AUTHOR: Linda Wisdom
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
PUBLISHER: Currently Unavailable
REVIEWED FOR/RATING: Enchanted In Romance Reviews/3 Unicorns
For the past five years Jill has been co-author of a very successful children’s series about a young gorilla named Hairy Harry. Whilst she and her co-author Greg have their apartments and work rooms in the same house (thanks to Jill seeing and falling in love with said house and convincing Greg it ideally suited their needs), their relationship is strictly platonic. Surprising, since there is an attraction bubbling beneath the surface that is apparent to everyone but them - including their numerous lovers and close friends. Their working relationship led to a close friendship. It is because of this that Greg is the first person Jill calls when she is struck by an intense pain in her stomach, which causes her to collapse in her apartment, having just returned from a business trip. It being very late in the night doesn’t matter; neither does Greg having his current lover in his bed prevent him from rushing to Jill's aid - and rushing her into hospital. She is diagnosed with a hot appendix and undergoes surgery immediately. Having had his own appendix removed as a child, Greg is sympathetic to her plight. He anxiously awaits news from the doctor on Jill's condition. Immensely relieved when Jill comes out of surgery with no complications, Greg takes on the role of nursemaid to help Jill get back to full strength. It will be six weeks before Jill can resume her normal activities. During her recovery period tempers fray, their attraction over boils, and disappointments abound. Just where will their relationship go? Onto a greater plateau? Or the end of their working relationship?
Is It Written In The Stars? by Linda Wisdom was a story that I found extremely hard to get into. I don't know why. The characters are reasonably developed, there is plenty going on in the story. Both characters are put through their paces. Several intimate encounters are described, adding a sensual level to the tale. The struggle the characters experience, trying to resist the force drawing them together is put together well. There were several editorial errors that were annoying, like a fly buzzing around one's ear. On the whole it was an OK story, but I was bored by it and it took me days to finish when I usually finish a story of this length in less than a day. Is it Written In The Stars? did not do much for me, but who knows? Maybe for you it could, particularly if you like your romances sweet.
